If you have development chops, designers and other contributors of this community need your help bringing designs to life.

Allow me to paint a picture of the need and skills required...

The task of creating content has been redesigned (http://groups.drupal.org/node/217434), and has reached a point of consensus. At this point, the design really needs to interactive to flush out how all of the various interactions will work (or don't). Additionally, once made interactive, we validate the direction by testing the prototype with end users.

If you have and of the following skills, you can help. On a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best, you understand...
- HTML: (5)
- HTML 5: (3)
- CSS: (5)
- CSS 3: (2/3)
- JQuery and/or Javascript: (4)
- Drupal theming: (5)
- Drupal module development: (2/3)

I don’t have a perfect candidate score, mostly because I’m new to Drupal. I have 6 months building Drupal sites full-time; this would be my first experience as a contributor. I’ve read through the design and implementation threads so I’m up to speed, and I’ve added my details to the spreadsheet.

I have the necessary skills listed above.
I have spoken with yoroy about doing this at DrupalCon Denver.
I have been on vacation with my family since DC Denver However......
Starting next week. I'm going to start building some stuff. My plan is to use panels / hacks
to get some stuff to play with. As everyone knows it might not be pretty code but it should serve it's purpose.
Elegant solutions can be derived from there.
I'm thinking it might be best to either create a feature or more likely a distribution that people can install themselves and play with.
@noyz Your google spreadsheet link wouldn't work for me. (invalid spreadsheet ??)

There's a single mockup in http://drupal.org/node/1510544. The prototype would show how you move between editing the content item and previewing it. Bonus points for exploring how the different view modes can be previewed.
